Hi Anne

I have been following the Andrew Strachan discussion. My own interest though
is in ANDERSON from the Shetland Islands.

You can see my Anderson line on my website, at
http://www.igrin.co.nz/petersim/pedigree.html .

If there's any connection with your genealogy, I'd appreciate hearing from
you.

Regards,
Peter

> I have found a article on the shetland today site (lots of interesting
articles worth looking at) regarding a court case of Andrew Strachan of Ham
in Bressay . I would like to ascertain whether this could be my gg
grandfather who was born in 1839 Rathen. Andrew brought his family to
Bressay from Fraserburgh around 1880 when the fishing station was set up at
Ham. Would there be records that would give the age of Andrew Strachan or
other details that may help. I have checked the 1881 census and it appears
that he and his son are the only Andrew Strachans in Shetalnd.
